Trust for Public Land Fitness Zones® are special areas of public parks set aside for free outdoor exercise


equipment. One study indicated that Fitness Zones attract new users to parks, encourage former park users to return to parks, and in- crease the amount of physical activity that occurs in parks—even among visitors who are not themselves using the equipment.33


Fit-


ness Zones have proven particularly popular with women, who typically use parks less of- ten than men.33


And when Fitness Zones are


installed near playgrounds, they allow adults to model healthy behavior for their children, encouraging kids to develop good habits that can last a lifetime.
